Henman advances in Cincinnati

Tim Henman won his first match since Wimbledon with a 6-2 6-1 dismissal of Olympic champion Nicolas Massu in the Cincinnati Masters.

The British number one set up break points almost at will and frustrated his opponent into submission.

Having suffered first-round defeats in his two matches since Wimbledon, Henman began tentatively and was forced to save a break point in the third game. But in the next game he set up a break point of his own and converted at the first time of asking when Massu netted feebly.
